Is there actually any evidence to support a multiverse? I've always regarded it as fiction or at least requiring as much faith to believe in as you would with a god.
This was until i heard Prof. Lawrence Krauss bring it up multiple times during his debates.
If there is evidence, which multiverse does it support? eg. Infinite universes, branching parallel universes etc.

I know that the different universes could have different universal constants and initial parameters. im asking if theres evidence for any variant of the idea

Impossible to prove unless we manage to get out of this universe.

is it unhealthier to swallow large amounts of chewing gum or semen?

I dunno about gum but I'm pretty healthy.

chewing chewing gum on the long run has ulcerating effects on the stomach for sure, if you mean just swallowing it then it's probably safe, just slightly worse than semen since there a bit of chems, varying on brand.
I'm currently in highschool and I am being forced into taking college classes. I'm mostly interested in CS, but I love anything that requires intellect.
What classes should I take /sci/?

/sci/ is making a meme out of recommending this Diffy Q text, instead of all the other ones which are actually available.
If you know this book is good, why not share it? Post the link or recommend something else whenever people ask for a good text on Diffy Q's.

Dunno about the book but it seems good for a first class on difEQs, especially for scientists and engineers, according to the review and the Amazon preview.

why is solar power as dead as nuclear? i get the impression that photovoltaic technology is being made much more energy efficient. it's only a matter of time before the cost of sun energy goes down.
is peak oil a real thing?

How do I deal with stress about exams?
Just took a math test and my hands were literally non-memingly shaking during it.
Now I'm stressed about my grade. I think I could've gotten everything right, but I could've also made some simple mistakes and fucked everything up.

Take a deep breath if you feel like you're going to panic. No use worrying after the test is taken, needless mental stress.
>>
>>8990648
you could go study the same material again to see if you forgot details or messed while taking the test
that might give you piece of mind

Yes, doing things is human nature. Work or keep occupied. Boredom can turn you toward something useful or something destructive. It's up to you.

I just woke up 30 mins ago and will probably be soon headed to subway to spend some of my govt neetbux on a tasty sub.
Then I'll probably come home, chill, pleasure my self to anime porn, maybe smoke some weed, go to sleep, and do it all over again tomorrow
